"Hopefully through the auction and surrounding publicity generated over the coming weeks more people will awaken and be made aware of all the cruelty and stupid acts that have been taking place over the past several years," he said.

The guitars were donated by Philip White, founder of Red Badger records. He added: "I have always wanted to take my charity work to the next level.

"This will hopefully be the first of many projects, and hopefully more, that are badger oriented."
